Material Construction:
Facestock: 3.25 mil flexible white vinyl.
Properties: Smooth, ink-receptive surface; excellent internal strength.
Adhesive System:
Type: Permanent pressure-sensitive acrylic adhesive.
Substrate Compatibility: Bonds to painted metal, stainless steel, chrome-coated materials, plastics, and glass.
Print Compatibility: Compatible with standard flexographic inks; maintains sharp contrast.
Durability: Resistant to abrasion, moisture, chemical splashes, and UV exposure (when rated).
Compliance: Supports adherence to ANSI/ASME A13.1 standards (size, placement, flow direction, and visibility).
Primary Function: Fast, compliant, and durable identification for piping systems and irregular equipment surfaces.
Format: Pre-cut, standardized shapes (wraps, arrows, blocks) in optimized sheet layouts to minimize waste and field cutting.
Key Benefits:
Conformity: Wraps tightly around small diameters and irregular geometries (valve bodies, pumps) without lifting, creasing, or bubbling.
Efficiency: Reduces installation time and labor; minimizes material waste.
Safety & Communication: Combines color for non-verbal hazard recognition with descriptive wording for actionable information (contents, pressure, direction).
Reliability: Markers remain fixed despite vibration, temperature extremes, and routine maintenance.
Applications:
Process Lines: Chemical, petroleum, steam, gas, and fluid lines.
Safety Systems: Sprinklers, fire suppression, and emergency relief valves.
Utilities: HVAC, chilled water, compressed air, and electrical conduits.
Transportation: Automotive engines, chassis components, and fluid reservoirs.
Outdoor: Exposed piping networks subject to environmental stress.
